Sweeper

Sweeper

Apps don't leave quietly.

Drag one to the Trash and its files stay scattered across your Library. Sweeper removes the app and every file it leaves behind, and shows you each one first.

The whole cleanup, in one window

Sweeper's app list showing installed apps with their sizes
Sweeper reviewing Codex's files grouped by Application, Application Support, Preferences, and Cache
Sweeper's orphan scan listing leftover files tagged by type
Sweeper's login items list grouped by app
Sweeper's extensions list grouped by app

Skip the window entirely

Sweeper ships an Alfred workflow and a full terminal app, for when you would rather not reach for the mouse.

Good to know

Does Sweeper delete anything on its own?

No. It never removes a file until you review the list and decide. Cleared items move to quarantine, not straight to deletion.

Can I get a file back after clearing it?

Yes. Cleared items go to quarantine. Restore any of them until you choose to empty it.

Will it remove system files?

System-owned files are flagged and ask for an administrator password before anything happens.

Why does it need Full Disk Access?

To see the files apps scatter across your Library. Nothing about your Mac ever leaves it.

Does it collect any data?

No. Sweeper runs entirely on your Mac and reports nothing back.

Is there a subscription?

No. Sweeper is a one-time purchase, and updates come through the app.

What about apps from the App Store?

Sweeper lists them alongside everything else, with the files each one added.

Does it run on Apple silicon and Intel?

Yes. Sweeper is a universal app for macOS 14 Sonoma and later.

Clean house.

Uninstall an app and everything it leaves behind. Review every file. Restore anything. Free up the space you forgot you lost.

One-time purchase. macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.
